Caladrius
Caladrius, according to the Roman mythology, is a snow-white bird that lives in kings' houses. Supposedly, the bird refuses to look at any patient who is not going to make a full recovery. Caladrius existed in the Greek mythology under the name Dhalion. It is said to also be able to take the sickness into itself and then fly away, dispersing the sickness and healing both itself and the sick person. This is said to be analogous to Jesus Christ, whose crucifixion is said to have drawn out "the sickness" (sin, see (Biblical sin-sickness analogy )) and, through his "flight" from the grave, saved the sinner. ==Origin== It has been theorized that the caladrius is based on a real bird. Due to descriptions of it being completely white with no black on it, it is possible that it was based on the dove, or possibly some sort of water bird such as the heron. Louis Reau believes it was most likely a white plover.〔Louis Réau, Iconographie de l'art chrétien, 6 vols. (Paris, 1955-59)〕
